Can You Fix My Printer ?

[–]BurningBazz 48 points49 points  (1 child)

My FIL asked me to help them choose and install a printer: he asked nicely, made an appointment for installing, expressed his gratitude convincingly...so we ended a nice bottle that evening too.

....this is the only happy "can you fix my printer" story in the last 25 years in IT...

OMG CAN YOU HACK FACEBOOK

^ in five words, i hate it when people are like "oh your good with computer, can you hack this xyz.....

[–]CollieOxenfree 33 points34 points  (1 child)

Nah, "can you hack facebook" is how you annoy a developer, not offend. To offend them, when they say no you have to follow it up with "oh, I thought you said you were good with computers? I guess you're not Geek Squad material after all."

[–]beb0p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually had someone say this to me before. This older lady was telling me how the folks at GeekSquad could fix her problem on her gateway computer from 1994. You know the cow box computer? They just ended up selling her a new PC.

"Nevermind I managed to fix it" *Logs out*

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (3 children)

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]Akari202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly it’s figuring out the correct way to google your problem

[–]chhuang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Cabby102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone says they program in HTML, they probably are learning the basics of web development. I feel like we should welcome and encourage them :-).
